She told me that they never do that, but since I wanted to see where I was, she reluctantly agreed. I soon realized that they didn't even plan for people walking around when the suburb was built, because there were not even sidewalks in front of all the houses. Sooo weird for me as a German.

What you reffer to is the "suburban project" in USA that is failed. In very short terms, US goverment is forcing the citizens to do everything by car. In EU we have small shops like groceryshops scattered around in walk distance. In every air photo from any city in US, you see massive carparkings where they habour all shops in one. This is also why a young child can be seen alone in EU walking to and from school, while in USA you get reported if your child is even alone on the frontyard (kinda). "Eyes on the street" doesnt exist in USA because of their failed city planning. In EU you find people walking everywhere so its less common for a crime to actually happen because of "eyes on the street"-term.

Kind of different in Albuquerque (Southwest US) though. I am actually in the city. But it is common to walk around. I often go out, and we do have sidewalks, etc. There are also some hiking trails in the foothills about a mile (2 Kilometers) from here. We also have a more outdoor oriented life than in the US South, I think (mountain biking, hiking, etc.) However, I don't think the houses are so pretty, the gardens are though. I think Germany looks amazing though. (However, I just am writing this, because you can't assume that all areas of the US are identical.)

Germans are obsessed with fresh air. They air out the house or apartment several times per day also in winter, it's called 'lüften'. Also being outside every day, spending lots of time out and about in the fresh air, is considered of great value. There is a German saying - there is no bad weather, only bad (wrong) clothing.

When you talked about the kids forgetting to tell the parents where they go...reminded me of my childhood :-) I lived in a small village surrounded by forest. I had a small backpack with some tools (hammer, pack of nails, small jackknife to carve and a roll of cord). During school vacation we went everyday from morning till evening to the forest to build a hut (ok we tried :-P but it was fun) or we went to the little creek and build dams. Loved it. I also had to tell my parents where I go (but honestly when we where at the forest we started there and ended up somewhere else - no one got hurt, so everything was fine). I always tell everyone with small children that the best thing they can do to their children at young age is to live in a small town with nature around. Played football/soccer, rode bicycles, skated and sometimes just returned home during the day to get sth. to eat or ask for some money to get some icecream - think this will definitely will also happen with your kids :-P However I can also tell you that as a teenager I didn't like it that much as the bus to the next village was only going every hour - but I survived that too ;-) I once watched a documentary where a german TV correspondent in D.C. talked about the situation that it's not usual in the U.S. to let children play alone in front of the house or on the street without supervision and someone called the police...as I experienced my childhood in such freedom and have these good memories I was a little bit shocked. I never want to miss that experience. Keep up with the entertaining videos, also like the two of you having such a relaxed conversation in front of the camera and a lot of laughs

All those things will get by unnoticed. But these are so essential to a school experience. And that should be shared by parents and kids. The how to get a Ränzel!

In Southern Germany you will find a lot of elaborate murals called "Lüftlmalerei" ("Lüftl" is the diminuative form for "Luft", air). Poorer people could not afford carvings and stucco so they decorated their houses in that art. But in contrast to most other parts of Germany Bavarian farmers were well-to-do. They were free and had bigger farms than most of the German peasants in the Middle Ages who lived in serfdom. That is why there are so many big farms that are isolated from each other and scattered around in that part of the world. About that Italian icecream-makers. Many of them come from two valleys in Northern Italy. They brought the art of icecream-making to Austria and Germany shortly after the 1860s. In winter they close their parlours and head home for family reunions and experimenting in their shops for the next season.

I'm glad you like it in your new German home ! The houses with paintings on them ( the paintings are called "Lüfterlmalerei" ) as well as the Baroque church are very typical for the Bavarian area ( and some places in Austria as well). You won't find that anywhere else. Sunday breakfast : It's true also in Northern Germany where I live that on Sundays many fathers take their kids to the bakery while the mothers prepare breakfast which typically is Brötchen (rolls) with butter, jam, cheese and 'Wurst' ( sliced sausages or ham) and a boiled egg . It depends on the individual preference if the eggs are hard boiled or creamy inside though. Some might even have scrambled eggs or smoked salmon on their rolls. Since you live in a small village it's safe to let your kids run around by themselves or send them shopping. I wouldn't recommend it in a big city.

Parenting style is very different to the US from what i heard and read. You should have a look at it to don't get any nasty surprises. During easter there is a tradition of "eier bemalen (color eggs)". It's really fun for kids. You can buy a special color and then paint cooked eggs that will be sitting in a small basket on a table during easter to be picked up and eaten whenever you like. You probably have noticed that eggs are not refrigerated here. It's because the shell isn't cleaned and therfore hasn't lost it's protective mantle. Therefore no worries, it's a total safe tradition.

We have a Müller here where I live in Baden-Wurtemberg. They're a chain store for all kinds of general stuff. If you give the employees your school supply list, they will go around and pick out all the things for you. (They will not notice you and offer to help, but are very nice and helpful if you ask directly.) This was so helpful when trying to figure out which kid needed which Heft. They all look the same to me. We also like Decathlon, Ernstings Family, and sometimes Tchibo for kids' clothes and weather-gear. All the stores are closed now where I live, but they have friendly return policies for online orders. I've bought many waterproof winterwandern schuhe and boots from Decathlon. When my kids started school and all needed a pair of Hausschuhe, Gummistiefel, Sportschuhe, Regenhose, and a Regenjacke each, I felt so panicked until I had them all outfitted.

Great to see you, and especially your kids, appear to have gotten settled allright ! If you would like to see really old churches (of course, Germany is not setting the standards here, e.g. France and Italy being much richer in cultural heritage) you may consider visiting the cathedrals of Speyer and/or Aachen some day, Corona allowing. They are not as decorated as the Baroque church in your town, but hey, they are about 600-700 years older... Just another idea: How about riding bikes as the entire family ? Unlike in the US, Germans (and even more so the Dutch) continue to consider bicyles as a means of transportation and not just sports equipment. Makes for great exercise, too. Who wants to avoid excessive physical activity can turn to electric versions.

For hiking, there should be a Alpenverein, or join a local runners club or a group that does northern walking. And the kids will need to join a Sportverein, as sport is not big in schools.
